Across Realms

The years had crossed the realms
Of reason’s need
Worn away its edgeless boundaries
Bent the trees against the winds
of current trends.
Old shadows of the giants
Hide now in cloudless caves
Their children waving sticks
Pretending they are brave
Look for one to take the helm
And sail across realms dream.

Hi John, this is quite impressive, your first line 'crossed the realms/of reasons need' - strikes me because I think most people are more motivated by emotion than reason - also great rhyme of 'the winds/of current trends' - how they come and go - should be a top winner for you~
